What issue is indicated when the run flat light flashes together with the terrain light?

When the run flat light flashes together with the terrain light, it signifies a potential issue related to the tires. The run flat light indicates a problem with the run-flat system, which is designed to keep the vehicle operational even when a tire is deflated. If this light is illuminated alongside the terrain light, it typically means that there may be a tire imbalance or damage, which could compromise the vehicle’s handling and performance.

In off-road environments, the terrain light serves to indicate that the vehicle is operating under conditions that may challenge its stability and traction. The simultaneous illumination of these two lights suggests that not only is the vehicle experiencing adverse terrain conditions, but there is also a significant concern with tire integrity. This could lead to safety issues and decreased mobility, making it critical for the operator to assess the tires and related systems promptly to ensure wheel functionality and vehicle safety.

Other options, such as engine overheating, brake system failure, or low hydraulic fluid, do not relate to the specific indication of tire issues that the flashing combination of these lights represents.
